In recent decades, the Catholic Church has received many new devotions. Pope John Paul II canonized St. Faustina and established the new Divine Mercy Devotion, which revealed new gifts of mercy coming from Jesus’ Heart.
The Flame of Love Devotion is very similar, making Catholics aware of a new fire coming from Mary’s heart. No one has to believe these private revelations, (Of Divine Mercy or of Flame of Love), but accepting these revelations provides the capacity to receive God’s gifts. Divine Mercy comes from the diary of St. Faustina. Flame of Love comes from the diary of Elizabeth Kindelmann. Let’s begin our story with her.
“I place this new instrument in your hands. Take this flame. You are the first to whom I entrust it. It is the Flame of Love of my Heart. First, light your own heart and then, pass it on to others. With this flame you will light all hearts in the world. The miracle will be this. This flame will become a fire, and with its shining light, this fire will blind Satan.” Our Blessed Mother to Elizabeth Kindelmann
Elizabeth’s mother had 13 children, six sets of twins and, finally, Elizabeth, who alone lived to adulthood. She had an extremely difficult childhood and at 11, was going to be adopted by a Swiss family. Fortunately, she missed the train, stayed in Budapest, tried to enter two religious orders, and joined the parish choir. There, she met Karoly Kindelmann, whom she married in 1930 at age 16.Karoly was a hardworking, wonderful husband and they had a happy marriage. However, he died in 1946, leaving her with 6 children when she was 32. She lived as a widow for the remaining 39 years under a Communist regime. Her diary details her many jobs, her poverty and her economic insecurities. She was an excellent mother and welcomed her married children and grandchildren back into her home. Beginning in 1962, she herself lived in a little shed in their garden the rest of her life.
Elizabeth was deeply devout but for a number of years, God tested her by mystical trials. Finally, after the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, (July 16, 1961), the darkness broke and she again experienced Jesus’ presence.In February 1962, her lifestyle changed completely, and she took up residence in that little dwelling in the garden. Once settled, Our Lord and Our Lady spoke with her for the rest of her life, revealing the mystery of the Flame of Love. She recorded all her experiences in her diary.
+ The Flame of Love is Jesus Himself, who flows from Mary's Immaculate Heart.
+ The Flame of Love is the greatest gift which God has given to the world since He sent His only Son.
+ This Flame of Love is a powerful force of grace, The Father's gift to all humanity, not just Christians.
+ This Flame blinds Satan, causing him to lose his power over persons and situations. This allows people to respond to God’s graces and be sanctified.
+ Mary, Mother to All People, wants to pour out the Flame into every heart. As a good mother would, Mary suffers until she can find souls who want to receive this Flame.
+ The effects of the Flame of Love graces is to sanctify and save souls, release souls from purgatory, and to usher in the final Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Our Lord explained, “Satan being blind signifies a worldwide triumph of my Sacred Heart, the freedom of souls and a full opening of the road to salvation.” (pg. 87 of Elizabeth’s diary)

The Prayer of Jesus: The Unity Prayer
My Adorable Jesus,
May our feet journey together.
May our hands gather in unity.
May our hearts beat in unison.
May our souls be in harmony.
May our thoughts be as one.
May our ears listen to the silence together.
May our glances profoundly penetrate each other.
May our lips pray together to gain mercy from the Eternal Father. Amen.
"Through the Flame of Love of the Blessed Virgin, faith will take root in souls, and the face of the earth will be renewed, because "nothing like it has happened ever since the Word became Flesh." The renewal of the earth, although flooded with sufferings, will come about by the power of intercession of the Blessed Virgin." Elizabeth Kindelmann
During her lifetime in Budapest, many priests accepted her revelations because they saw her goodness. In June 2009, after a few years of investigation, Cardinal Erdo, the Primate of Hungary, said that her writings were free from any error and gave his approval to the Flame of Love Movement. Many other diocesan bishops have also given approval.
Fortunately, Elizabeth’s spiritual director, Fr. Rona, S.J., was a missionary to Latin America and translated her Hungarian diary into Spanish. The Movement started early in Latin America and came to some areas in the United States from Mexico, and from a Canadian center. Now, the center for the Flame of Love Movement in the United States is Philadelphia.
Our Lady promises many blessings:
These are the basic blessings for all who receive and spread the flame.
Our Lady also had certain expectations for Elizabeth (and for us). Our Lady expects:
Our Lady told Elizabeth, “The earth has been covered in darkness because of the lack of faith in the soul of humanity and therefore, will experience a great jolt. Following that, people will believe. Through the Flame of Love of the Blessed Virgin, faith will take root in souls, and the face of the earth will be renewed, because ‘nothing like it has happened ever since the Word became Flesh.’ The renewal of the earth, although flooded with sufferings, will come about by the power of intercession of the Blessed Virgin.”
The times in which we live are urgent. Our Lady stated to Elizabeth, “Earth is experiencing the calm before the storm, like a volcano about to explode. Earth is now in this terrible situation. The crater of hatred is boiling. I, the beautiful Ray of Dawn, will blind Satan. No dying soul should be condemned. My Flame of Love will now be lit. It will be a terrible storm, a hurricane that will want to destroy faith. In that dark night, heaven and earth will be illuminated by the Flame of Love that I offer to souls.”
Elizabeth’s Diary, written at the request of Our Lord, was given the imprimatur of Cardinal Peter Erdo, on June 6, 2009. It has also received imprimaturs from Mexico, Costa Rica, and Pennsylvania.
